Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in Italy: first report on two confirmed cases.

abstract：:Clinicians use the combination of Tanner stage 5 (T5) of puberty, final height, and epiphyseal fusion to define maturity. We tested the hypothesis that changes in body composition related to age are identifiable during T5. Asian, Black, Hispanic, and White T5 adolescents (n = 148, 72 females) had measurements taken of...
